A local shop (that unfortunately closed) used to carry them. I played a few of them and they were nice guitars. Hot pickups. They felt really good. When I went to purchase a guitar a few years ago I was looking at a PRS SE and the Reverend Warhawk HB. I went to the shop that sold the PRS line first and I was distracted by a used American Series Strat. I never made it to the shop that sold the Reverend's cuz I took the Strat home instead.
I always wonder what could have been! I am not sure I would have like the reverse headstock though.

I also heard that their customer service was really good. If you called them for a concern, you'd actually talk to Joe Naylor, the company founder.

I don't own one, but a friend of mine does and I actually play it as much as he does. It's a great guitar and the blend feature on the pickups is outstanding. They are well made and the fit and finish on his is as good as anything Fender MIA is putting out. The late Ron Ashton has a Reverend Signature guitar.

I can't say that I've played one but my local Mom & Pop sells them and keeps them in their speciality guitar room where they keep their Martins and higher priced and special edition Fenders and Gibsons.Up close the fit and finish and hardware looks to be a well above average.I'll have to give one a try the next time I go to the store because I've read some very positive reviews of Reverend guitars.

I love them. Love to try one.

Unfortunately, no-one in the UK's second City (Birmingham) actually seems to stock them.. :(

I had a Club King 290 in black w/maple neck that I recently
traded towards a Duesenberg D-Caster. Just didn't bond with it,
but a good player.
